Pat, I am thinking of you and your sons in this time of sorrow. Although it has been 24 years since we moved from Anderson back to SE coastal North Carolina closer to our three children and USMC bases, I am still a member of the South Carolina UDC, DAR and Colonial Dames in Anderson. I remember Paul's beautiful store in Durham Shopping Center. My deceased husband Dick was a member of St. John's Methodist. I wish I could be with you and your family at this time.
